Big Box Storage Celebrates a Season of Giving

The holiday season is a magical time of year, and here at Big Box Storage, we can’t get enough of it! From festive parties and delicious treats to sparkling decorations and meaningful connections, the holidays truly bring out the best in everyone. There’s nothing better than gathering with friends and family, sharing stories over homemade fudge, and exchanging thoughtful gifts. While receiving gifts is always exciting, we believe that giving brings even greater joy.

Spreading Holiday Cheer Through Community Giving

This past holiday season, we felt inspired to give back in ways that would make a lasting impact on our local community. Over the past two months, we rolled up our sleeves, opened our hearts, and partnered with several amazing organizations dedicated to making San Diego a better place.

Here’s how we helped spread joy and hope throughout our community:

  • Feeding San Diego: We donated 1,000 nutritious meals to Feeding San Diego, a local nonprofit dedicated to fighting hunger. This contribution helped provide essential food supplies to children, families, seniors, and veterans struggling with food insecurity. Knowing we could make the holidays a little brighter for so many people meant the world to us.
  • Supporting Education: We believe that education is the foundation of a brighter future. To support local classrooms, we donated microscopes to one teacher, enabling students to explore cell structures during science lessons. We also helped another teacher purchase an iPad, giving students a creative outlet to learn about stop-motion film production. Seeing the excitement these educational tools brought to local classrooms was incredibly rewarding!
  • Fighting Cancer with Light the Night: We proudly sponsored the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s Light the Night Event, where funds raised go toward lifesaving cancer research, patient support, and advocacy. Being a part of this powerful movement made us feel connected to a cause that touches countless lives.
  • Helping Local Food Pantries: We partnered with the Serra Mesa Food Pantry by providing extra storage space for surplus nonperishable food items. This ensured that more local families in need could receive essential supplies throughout the holiday season and beyond.

The #BigBoxBigGiveaway Sweepstakes

We didn’t stop there! To wrap up our season of giving with a fun twist, we hosted the #BigBoxBigGiveaway Sweepstakes. Participants were encouraged to share photos of their holiday decorations, and one lucky winner walked away with a brand-new KitchenAid Professional Series Stand Mixer. We couldn’t resist dreaming of all the holiday cookies and treats that might be baked with it, perhaps some will make their way to our office next year!

Our social media feeds came alive with festive pictures of colorful holiday trees, mischievous elves, and homemade treats. Seeing everyone’s creativity and holiday spirit filled us with joy and gratitude. It was a wonderful reminder of how special this season truly is.

Looking Forward to the Future

As we say goodbye to another meaningful holiday season, we can’t help but feel excited about what the next year has in store. We’re committed to continuing our efforts to give back, create meaningful connections, and support the community that has supported us for so many years.

From all of us at Big Box Storage, we wish you a Merry Everything and a Happy Always! Thank you for being part of our journey, and we look forward to creating even more special memories together in the coming year.

Big Box Storage Donates 1,000 Holiday Meals to Local Families

As a family-owned and operated business, Big Box Storage understands the importance of community and family support. With the holiday season approaching, we couldn’t ignore the reality that many San Diego children, seniors, and families face hunger during this time. To make a difference, we’ve come together to donate 1,000 meals to Feeding San Diego, a local nonprofit dedicated to addressing food insecurity and promoting dignity for those in need.

Feeding San Diego, founded in 2007, is the county’s leading hunger-relief organization. They focus on distributing healthy food with respect and dignity to residents struggling to find nutritious meal options. This vital nonprofit operates through the generosity of community and philanthropic support, working tirelessly to combat hunger through advocacy, education, and direct aid. Each week, they serve 60,000 children, families, and seniors by partnering with local agencies, school districts, corporate supporters, and a network of volunteers.

For us at Big Box Storage, this donation is more than just providing meals—it’s about alleviating the difficult choices that families face. It’s about ensuring that a mother doesn’t have to choose between feeding her children and buying a holiday gift, or that a grandmother doesn’t have to decide between a meal and essential medication. It’s about fostering a sense of community and care during the holiday season.

We encourage everyone who can to join us in supporting Feeding San Diego. Even a small contribution can make a big difference. By coming together, we can help put an end to hunger and bring a bit of joy and relief to those in need.

To make a donation or learn more about how you can help, visit Feeding San Diego’s website. Let’s work together to ensure that no one in our community has to face hunger this holiday season. Give the Big Box a team a call at (619) 353-5995 if you need storage this Holiday season.

Big Box Storage presents the December Teacher of the Month!

We are thrilled to announce Ms. Woodruff from Innovations Charter Academy in San Diego as our Teacher of the Month! Her dedication to shaping the bright minds of the next generation is truly inspiring. At Big Box Storage, we are proud to support her classroom efforts with a donation toward essential educational materials.

From the Teacher:

“My students need microscopes to further explore life science.

At our school, we prioritize Project-Based Learning and social-emotional skills, empowering students to take charge of their own education. My 7th graders are full of energy and curiosity—they’re eager to dive into new subjects and take ownership of their learning. Our class is a melting pot of students from all across San Diego, representing various cultures and socioeconomic backgrounds.

Because we are a charter school, we don’t always have access to the same funding as public schools. This makes it even more important to provide all students with equal access to essential learning tools.

As we approach our life science unit, the addition of microscopes would take our hands-on learning to the next level. These microscopes will allow students to explore the structure and function of cells, bones, muscles, organs, tissues, and plants—enhancing their understanding of the living systems that surround them. My students will gain firsthand experience in scientific investigation, which will ignite their curiosity and deepen their understanding.”

Supporting San Diego’s Educators

At Big Box Storage, we recognize the immense value of hands-on learning and believe in the power of exploration to inspire the next generation of thinkers. We hope that our donation will help Ms. Woodruff’s students uncover the mysteries of the microscopic world and ignite a passion for science.

This contribution is just a small token of our gratitude for the incredible work Ms. Woodruff does every day in the classroom.

Big Box Storage presents the November Teacher of the Month!

We are excited to recognize Teacher Hoyt from San Diego Cooperative Charter Schools Linda Vista as our November Teacher of the Month! Your dedication and passion for shaping the next generation of leaders, entrepreneurs, and artists inspire us all. It’s thanks to educators like you that young minds flourish, helping to make the world a brighter place.

From Teacher Hoyt:

“I am fortunate to be a credentialed art teacher at a free public charter school. Our school is unique, operating as a project-based cooperative, and I’m proud to say I’ve been one of the founding teachers. After 14 years, I’ve developed a thriving art program that has positively impacted many students. However, with a tight budget and families that aren’t wealthy, we make the most of what we have. My students respect the materials we have and are always excited about new technologies.

What sets my art program apart is that it’s choice-based, meaning students direct their own projects based on their interests. This approach differs from traditional art programs because we treat children as artists and allow them to pursue what excites them. Each student sets personal goals and explores their chosen art form, growing their skills and artistic consciousness.

Recently, our school updated some of the technology in my classroom, and the students have been thrilled! However, there’s still more to be done. We need additional tools to fully unlock their creative potential. Right now, I’m asking for an iPad to support a team of students interested in stop-motion filmmaking. With the right technology, we can take their projects to the next level.”

Supporting Creativity in the Classroom

At Big Box Storage, we’re thrilled to help fulfill your classroom’s need for an iPad, supporting your students as they dive into the exciting world of stop-motion filmmaking. We encourage them to explore their creativity, push boundaries, and have fun in the process. We would love to spotlight their amazing work on our social media channels once their projects are complete!

Big Box Storage partners with San Diego’s Serra Mesa Food Pantry

One of the biggest challenges our nation faces daily is hunger. Right here in San Diego, many people don’t know where their next meal will come from. To help our community, Big Box Storage has teamed up with the Serra Mesa Food Pantry to store non-perishable food items for families in need.

The Serra Mesa Food Pantry, a local non-profit, has been helping since May 2010. They provide food for individuals and families struggling to get basic nutritional necessities during tough times like illness, unemployment, or crisis. Their mission is simple: to lessen the impact of hunger in our community. As a partner agency of the San Diego Food Bank and Feeding San Diego, they distribute hundreds of meals every Wednesday from 10 AM to 2 PM.

Big Box Storage is proud to support such an important service. By offering our storage facilities, we help the Serra Mesa Food Pantry keep their operations running smoothly. Food insecurity affects many people, and it’s vital that we all do our part to help those in need. By storing non-perishable food items, we ensure the pantry has a steady supply to distribute to families and individuals who rely on their services.

With the holidays approaching, it’s a perfect time to reflect on our blessings and consider how we can make a difference in our community. We encourage you to pick up a few extra non-perishable food items during your next grocery trip and donate them to the Serra Mesa Food Pantry. They are located at 2650 Melbourne Drive, San Diego, CA 92123. Our goal here at Big Box Storage is to fill a Big Box with donations before Thanksgiving. Imagine the impact we could make if everyone contributed just a little bit.

A Quick Move in a Tough Situation

A close friend of mine went through a very difficult time. She had been living with someone who caused her a lot of emotional and financial stress. One Sunday night, she called me in tears saying she needed to move out quickly. After years of enduring a toxic situation, she finally decided it was time to leave for good.

She needed to pack up her one-bedroom apartment, find a new place to live, and move out within a week while the person she lived with was away on business. The pressure she was under was overwhelming, and I promised to help however I could.

Finding a Fast-Moving Solution

I remembered hearing about portable storage from a friend but didn’t recall the specifics. I suggested my friend start packing while I researched moving options. The next morning, I searched for moving and storage companies, short-term storage solutions, and affordable moving services that could handle such a tight deadline.

That’s when I came across Big Box Storage. As I read about their portable storage units, I realized this might be exactly what she needed. Finding a new apartment on short notice seemed nearly impossible. A safe place to store her belongings while she searched for a home became the best option.

Reaching Out to Big Box Storage

I called Big Box Storage and explained her urgent situation. I outlined what we needed:

  1. A fast move-out with less than a week to pack and load her apartment
  2. Flexible storage that could hold her belongings until she found a new home
  3. Access to her stored items if needed
  4. Safe and secure storage for her belongings throughout the process

The customer service representative was understanding and incredibly helpful. They assured me they could deliver a portable storage unit the next day and pick it up as soon as we were ready. They even offered packing supplies like boxes, tape, and packing paper to make the process easier.

Moving Forward

With help from a few friends, we worked tirelessly to pack her apartment. We loaded everything into the Big Box storage unit and had it picked up within 36 hours. The process was smooth and stress-free thanks to Big Box Storage.

While her belongings were securely stored, she stayed with me for a month until her new apartment was ready. Once she got the keys, Big Box Storage delivered the unit directly to her new home. We unpacked quickly, and she finally had a fresh start.

A New Beginning

I am happy to say that my friend has been free from her past situation for over a year now and is living a much happier life. Big Box Storage played a crucial role in making what seemed like an impossible move not only possible but also manageable. If you ever need to move quickly, store your belongings, or handle a tough relocation, I highly recommend Big Box Storage. Their caring service and reliable storage solutions made all the difference when my friend needed it the most.

Storage Solutions for San Diego Businesses

While many Big Box Storage customers are homeowners and renters, the company also serves a wide range of businesses throughout San Diego. From national grocery chains and local restaurants to small accounting firms, businesses of all types benefit from flexible storage rentals. If you’re a business owner, here’s how renting storage space could support your operations.

Manage Seasonal Inventory

Many businesses need help with storage due to seasonal inventory, supplies, or equipment. Items used only part of the year can take up valuable space during off-seasons. Renting a storage unit allows businesses to free up their workspace while keeping these items safe and accessible.

Handle Large Shipments and Deliveries

If your business lacks the facilities to accept large shipments, such as those requiring a loading dock, Big Box Storage offers an ideal solution. Shipments can be delivered directly to your storage unit at the company’s secure facility at 7077 Consolidated Way, San Diego, CA 92121.

Save on Costs

Storage rentals are significantly more cost-effective than leasing additional retail or office space. A “Big Box” rental typically costs 50% or less than most commercial lease rates in San Diego, helping businesses manage expenses more efficiently.

Enhance Security

Big Box Storage provides advanced security measures, often surpassing what businesses have on-site. These include perimeter alarms, gated access, on-site personnel, and motion-sensor alarms to ensure your items remain safe.

Convenient Delivery Options

As a portable storage company, Big Box Storage can deliver storage units directly to your business address. You can choose to keep the storage unit on-site for constant access or have it picked up and stored securely at the company’s facility. Either way, you’ll enjoy a hassle-free and flexible business storage solution.
